MADRID 
Barcelona advanced to the Copa del Rey final with a 3-0 victory over Almeria on Wednesday night despite resting most of its regular starters.

Already ahead 5-0 from the first leg of the semifinals, Barcelona got goals from Adriano in the 35th minute and Thiago in the 56th. Newly acquired Ibrahim Affelay added his first goal for the Blaugrana in the 76th to complete an 8-0 aggregate win in the total-goals series.

Barcelona, which has won the cup a record 25 times, will play Real Madrid or defending champion Sevilla in the final on April 20. Real Madrid entered Wednesday night's second leg with a 1-0 aggregate lead.

Barcelona has outscored Almeria 16-0 in three games this season and all opponents 108-22. Dani Alves and Sergio Busquets were the only regulars in Barcelona's starting lineup.
